Saturday Stuff

Hi Guys

Just wanted to alert you to a story we've published on the website outlining plans for tomorrow - text below.

Many Thanks,
Tim


ASIDE from a massive game of football, there is plenty happening at Plainmoor tomorrow.

The final day of the season brings Bristol Rovers to town and we are expecting a bumper crowd inside TQ1 for the occasion.

As such, we thought it might be a good idea to remind people of all the procedures we have in place.

When it comes to tickets for the game, visit our dedicated ticket office, but please note that Bristow’s Bench is SOLD OUT, the away end is SOLD OUT and at the time of writing, the Family Stand is running low on availability.

We would, therefore, advise fans to either come and see us at Plainmoor today or call us on 01803 328666 option 0. Alternatively, the ticket office opens at 11am tomorrow morning and we advise you to get here early.

We will be selling season-tickets from our Corporate Hospitality reception, which will open at midday. The ticket office will then reopen after the game until 6pm for season-ticket sales.

Corporate Hospitality will also be the place to redeem your £5 travel voucher from Morecambe or, where appropriate, you can purchase a ticket for tomorrow’s match and receive a £5 discount with your voucher.

We are again handing out a free match-day programme to all season-ticket holders. Just find a seller and exchange Voucher C in your booklet for tomorrow’s special edition.

The final point to raise is that we are reluctantly closing the Gulls Nest to Popsiders from 1.45pm onwards. We apologise for the inconvenience but this is the only way we can keep a clear track on numbers in each section of the ground.

Entry to the Gulls Nest will be through the Bristow’s Bench / Family Stand turnstiles, once they open at 1.45pm.

Please can we remind all supporters not to enter the pitch at full-time, as we are planning a Player of the Season presentation after the game. This is also the chance for our players to show their gratitude to the Yellow Army, so please do not go on the grass.

Re: Ideas for Mr Candy

Hi Guys

We have looked into the idea of linking our twitter feed to Facebook but a Social Media guru has advised against the plan, as we want to keep the two mediums separate. I will very soon sound like a broken record but one of our many summer plans is to develop our Facebook site and hopefully provide a separate source of information to the official website and twitter.

Another of our plans for the quieter months of May and June is developing the car-sharing scheme suggested on here, and that maybe something we run in conjunction with this forum, and others.

The one other development we are hoping to explore before the end of the season is restarting regular interviews on Gulls Player. We have been hampered by the absence of someone with video expertise but a recent recruit to the team has the skills to help us out. It will probably only start with one video per week but the dream is to increase that over time.

Three points at Morecambe is next on the list please.

Cheers,
Tim

TUFC Media Debut

Hi Guys

My belated debut on the forum is a baptism of fire ahead of the massive game with Barnet tonight.

As mentioned by our new chief executive Andrew Candy in a recent thread, I am the media man here at Plainmoor, which means I’m ostensibly in charge of the club website, match-day programme and press relations.

A brief overview of my background starts with missing the target as a striker in the Sixth Form at Torquay Boys Grammar School, later moving to the mighty Hele Rovers, where I was sensibly moved into a midfield role of kicking people, rather than the ball.

On a professional level, I went travelling for a few years, graduated from Cardiff University and was told to grow up and get a proper job by my dad. Soon after, Plymouth Argyle called and I spent five years working through the media team at Home Park.

Just as the Green house of cards came tumbling down, the job of press officer at Plainmoor became available and I naturally jumped at the chance to abandon traffic jams for a career at my hometown club.

Along with Andrew, my role on here will be to hopefully provide clarity on certain issues within the club and perhaps explain the background behind some of the decisions we make, and stories released on the club website.

I am happy for anybody to contact me at any time and I’ll endeavour to respond to every enquiry. I will obviously keep an eye on what’s being said on here and get involved where appropriate, but you can always drop me an e-mail on [email protected]

In the meantime, I’ve put a link to a recent story posted on the club website that may spark some debate. First of all, however, three points tonight is everything.

Come on You Yellows.
